  1. To misquote Jaws, "we're gonna need a bigger shed"
  2. I don't know about that, groundcrew sitting around drinking a brew seems fairly ubiquitous....
  3. Was thinking Victor / Vulcan double box ... although I guess it won't be long before someone suggests HMS Coventry / A4 Skyhawk as a budget option !
  4. It's just over 2 years until the 40th anniversary of the Falklands.... 'Operation Black Buck' dogfight double ?
  5. Well I was half- right .... it's a Vulcan but not 1:24 I'd better get saving in case there's a future V-Force 70th Anniversary gift set containing Valiant, Victor & Vuclan....
  6. Latest Airfix new not big, it's Titanic
  7. Work bench said it was a BIG announcement... so has to be 1:24 Vulcan
  8. ... the headlines of the tabloid press !
  9. That's a shame, because Firefox Down was a really good book.....
  10. Is it true that you can only build it if you think in Russian ?
  11. Of course if we were really desperate to find out what the future holds, we'd be ringing around display case manufacturers to see if Airfix have ordered a large triangular one for Telford......
  12. -hi Chris, are you planning to get a vacform or resin F-108 ?
  13. Not expecting it to make that much difference, apart from a weaker pound making CMR kits even more expensive ! ( although I have a sneaking feeling that price rises won't be limited to imported kits )
  14. Nice.... belly turret and rocket pods scratch-built ? ( don't remember them in the kit box )
  15. Excellent news. Will be curious what price they pitch it at - on the one hand unusual subject, on the other if it's a straight reissue then it's a very basic kit by today's standards.... guess we will find out next year if Atlantis FB page is accurate.
  16. Reading "1:144 F-14D Tomcat instructions" by Revell......
  17. Thanks for the replies. Drat, that means another visit to Hannants website and the attendant risk of impulse purchases !
  18. Hi, Went to get my bottles of CA which haven't been used for a few months, only to find that it had turned into a thick gel-like substance that wouldn't pour out. Any way to turn them back into runny liquid CA glue, or are they fit for the bin only ?
  19. Great subject,extra brownie points for bravery with THAT kit.....
  20. Too bad in some ways.... but on the other hand we ended up with the Apache and Warthog instead , so not all bad I'm surprised at the relative obscurity of this helicopter, given the extent of what-if debate that the Northrop YF-23 and GD F-16 XL seem to enjoy.
  21. Aurora 1:72 Lockheed AH-56A Cheyenne. Built OOB apart from the missing bits I had to make myself.
